Please nooooooooooo!!! They sound like Pinky & Perky on helium. I can't see why it is selling so well.Boring ,boring.

I still believe that it will do a U turn and go into the top 10 near Christmas

This is an excellent review !!! Could Connie Talbot be a challenge for Leona this week in the album charts ? She's getting a fair bit of exposure at the moment (GMTV,Central News,Walsall lights switch on,etc) Somehow, I think a lot of copies will be bought for Christmas . There have been millions of hits on You Tube from all over the world.

Don't write off Take That's Rule The World . It could climb back up with all the concerts in London & Manchester coming up .

When Im 64 has come back to haunt Paul McCartney . When he first recorded it in 1967 I bet he didnt think it was going to be such an eventful year for him as he reached this age.

It might climb to number 1 ...dont forget the UK tour is in November

I cant see it falling very far. Its a good song.You can get 3 formats for £6 & there was plenty left in HMV today.

I loved ELO's Ma Ma Belle , Mud's Rocket & The Cat Crept In. Beach Baby by First Class , Lobo's Id love you to want me .

I preferred the chocolate ones ,you could also eat the wrapper.

There was a big ska revival in 1979 . Everyone in my school was into this type of music .The 2 tone record label kicked this off with groups like The Specials, Madness , The Beat & Selector .It was basically 1960s ska with a faster beat & a harder edge to it. It promoted racial unity when there was a lot of racial tension in the UK at the time.

Sorry to be picky ,Mikey, but that came out in 1979 , didn't it ?

I used to love Texan bars but I think they'd pull my teeth out now if I had one !!!!!! They were tough chewy nougat with chocolate on them from the mid 70s. Also, Aztec bars were great , a bit like Mars Bars . Can you still get Old Jamaica bars with rum ?

Slade-Cum on feel the noize (Baby Baby Baby) Wizzard - See my baby jive (digger) Rock on - David Essex (bassline) Wizzard - I wish it could be Xmas (till) Sweet - Ballroom Blitz (drum beat) Sweet - Hell Raiser (look out then bang) Mud -Tiger Feet (yeah)

My first memories of the charts were around 1973 when Tom Browne presented solid gold sixty . I used to write down them week after week. On Tuesday lunchtimes I would listen to the new chart & decide which songs I would be taping on the Sunday night. I've got 100s of tapes in the loft of old chart shows , most of them complete with the presenters talking . The chart show was the only show on Radio 1 that was in stereo at the time so the quality was great on a Sunday evening. Simon Bates did the chart show after Tom Browne from April 1978 to August 1979. Tony Blackburn presented from Aug 1979 to Jan 1982. Tommy Vance took over from Jan 1982 to Jan 1984. Simon Bates came back from Jan - Sept 1984 Richard Skinner did Sept 1984 to 1986 Bruno Brookes stepped in from 1986 to Sept 1990 Mark Goodier took over from Sept 1990 to March 1992 Bruno Brookes came back from March 1992 to Feb 1995 Mark Goodier returned from Mar 1995 to Nov 2002 Wes Butters took over from Feb 2003 to Feb 2005 JK & Joel have been presenting the charts since March 2005

I've PM 'd mine also

I've emailed my answers to you,Lesley I thought I'd rejoin the group again after missing a few out and falling well behind the others.

I feel love was an amazing record when it was released in 1977. It's a landmark disco song & sounded so original at the time. I still love it to bits.

Queen of hearts is another good tune from Dave Edmunds

Girls Talk was a great pop song by Dave Edmunds . Its so uplifting and once you hear it you cant get it out of your head.

Ive just emailed you mine

A bit of trivia .... The Faces hold the record for the longest song title with "You Can Make Me Dance Sing Or Anything (Even Take The Dog For A Walk, Mend A Fuse, Fold Away The Ironing Board, Or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings". Cindy Incidentally, Pool Hall Richard & Stay With Me were fantastic tunes by The Faces.

Roy Wood was not in the Idle Race . Roy Wood was in the Nightriders . He left in 1966 to form the move & was replaced with Johnny Mann .Jeff Lynne replaced Johnny Mann.
